Wally Dion's major solo exhibition, skodenstoodis, focuses on new and recent artworks, including large scale, site-specific neon sculpture, recent painting and drawing, and a selection of circuit board assemblages. skodenstoodis addresses broad social concepts relating to Indigenous mobility and empowerment, recognized through cultural, economic, and political powers. Dion's use of image and materiality addresses time and tradition through a contemporary framework.
